I'm looking to find an acclimation box for a biota mandarin. Their box is $135.00, way too rich for my blood. What brand and where can I find one cheaper?
 
The biota box is ok. It works as a trap in a pinch if you need to catch a fish. Reefing Art sells cheaper boxes in different sizes. I usually use the Reefing Art 16" box. It comes with removable dividers in case you want to acclimate multiple fish and keep them separate.

You do have to assemble the Reefing Art boxes and they aren't the most sturdy, but they are inexpensive and work pretty well. You can get them on Amazon.
